Additional Information

Beyond the Refugee Journey is a conference with a difference -- providing opportunities for refugees to conference with employers, service providers and the broader community.

For refugee participants, it will focus particularly on pathways to employment and will include opportunities to engage with longer established refugees and find out about the pathways they took to create new lives for themselves and their families. An employer roundtable will also feature, which will allow employers to engage with the refugee experience and create deliberative discussion around strategies to facilitate refugee employment.
